  • the present invention relates to a thermosetting resin composition which is balanced in all of a metal foil adhesive property, a heat resistance, a moisture resistance, a flame resistance, a metal-stuck heat resistance and dielectric characteristics (a relative dielectric constant and a dielectric loss tangent), low in a toxicity and excellent in a safety and a working environment and which is suitably used for electronic parts and the like and a prepreg and a laminated plate which are prepared by using the same.
  • Thermosetting resins are widely used in the fields of electronic parts and the like to which a high reliability is required since a specific cross-linking structure thereof displays a high heat resistance and a high dimensional stability.
  • a high copper foil adhesive property for forming fine wirings and a workability in carrying out works such as boring and the like by drilling and punching are required as well in order to meet requirements for density growth in recent years.

  • a bismaleimide compound is a curing agent for thermosetting resins which are excellent in dielectric characteristics, a flame resistance and a heat resistance.
  • Publicly known bismaleimide compounds do not have a curing reactivity with epoxy resins, and therefore when they are used as they are for thermosetting resins of an epoxy curing base, the problem that the heat resistance is short has been involved therein. That is, disclosed are cases (refer to, for example, a patent document 1 and a patent document 2) regarding thermosetting resins in which adducts of bismaleimide compounds and aminophenol are produced by heating and kneading without using solvents and used. However, a yield of the adducts of the bismaleimide compounds and aminophenol is low, and when they are used for copper clad laminated plates and interlayer insulating materials, the heat resistance, the workability and the like are short.
  • thermosetting resins and guanamine compounds are excellent in an adhesive property, a flame resistance and a heat resistance, but they are short of a solubility in organic solvents, and there have been involved therein the problems that it is difficult to produce thermosetting resin compositions without using a large amount of nitrogen atom-containing organic solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide and the like which are highly toxic and that the storage stability is short.

Further, in fine working treatment and formation of wirings, they are short of a copper foil adhesive property, a flexibility and a toughness, and brought about are the failures that the circuit patterns are broken or peeled and that cracks are produced in carrying out works such as boring and the like by drilling and punching.
  • thermosetting resins prepared by using adducts of bismaleimide compounds and aminobenzoic acid which are produced without using an organic solvent, benzoguanamine formaldehyde condensation products and the like, but they have a low thermal decomposition temperature and are short of a heat resistance against lead-free solders and a copper-stuck heat resistance which are required in recent years.

Description

    CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
  • This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 12/810,387, filed Jun. 24, 2010, which U.S. national phase application filed under 35 U.S.C. §371 of International Application No. PCT/JP2008/061256, filed Jun. 19, 2008, designating the United States, which claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-332857, filed Dec. 25, 2007, the complete disclosures of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entirety for all purposes.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to a thermosetting resin composition which is balanced in all of a metal foil adhesive property, a heat resistance, a moisture resistance, a flame resistance, a metal-stuck heat resistance and dielectric characteristics (a relative dielectric constant and a dielectric loss tangent), low in a toxicity and excellent in a safety and a working environment and which is suitably used for electronic parts and the like and a prepreg and a laminated plate which are prepared by using the same.
  • RELATED ART
  • Thermosetting resins are widely used in the fields of electronic parts and the like to which a high reliability is required since a specific cross-linking structure thereof displays a high heat resistance and a high dimensional stability. Particularly in copper clad laminated plates and interlayer insulating materials, a high copper foil adhesive property for forming fine wirings and a workability in carrying out works such as boring and the like by drilling and punching are required as well in order to meet requirements for density growth in recent years.
  • Mounting of electronic parts produced by using lead-free solders and flame retardation free of halogens are required due to environmental problems in recent years, and this requires the higher heat resistance and the higher flame resistance than those of conventional ones. Further, in order to enhance a safety of the products and the working environment, desired is a thermosetting resin composition which is constituted only from components having a low toxicity and which does not generate toxic gases and the like.
  • A bismaleimide compound is a curing agent for thermosetting resins which are excellent in dielectric characteristics, a flame resistance and a heat resistance. Publicly known bismaleimide compounds do not have a curing reactivity with epoxy resins, and therefore when they are used as they are for thermosetting resins of an epoxy curing base, the problem that the heat resistance is short has been involved therein. That is, disclosed are cases (refer to, for example, a patent document 1 and a patent document 2) regarding thermosetting resins in which adducts of bismaleimide compounds and aminophenol are produced by heating and kneading without using solvents and used. However, a yield of the adducts of the bismaleimide compounds and aminophenol is low, and when they are used for copper clad laminated plates and interlayer insulating materials, the heat resistance, the workability and the like are short.
  • Melamine resins which are thermosetting resins and guanamine compounds are excellent in an adhesive property, a flame resistance and a heat resistance, but they are short of a solubility in organic solvents, and there have been involved therein the problems that it is difficult to produce thermosetting resin compositions without using a large amount of nitrogen atom-containing organic solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide and the like which are highly toxic and that the storage stability is short. Further, copper clad laminated plates and interlayer insulating materials which are prepared by using the above thermosetting resins have involved the problem that they contaminate various chemical liquids such as a plating liquid and the like when producing electronic parts and the like.
  • A lot of cases regarding thermosetting resins prepared by using melamine resins and guanamine compounds are known as resins for solving the above problems (refer to, for example, patent documents 3 to 7).
  • They are thermosetting resins prepared by condensing melamine resins and guanamine compounds using aldehydes such as formaldehyde and the like and improved in a solubility in organic solvents, but they have a low thermal decomposition temperature and generate toxic cracked gases, so that they deteriorate the working environment and are short of a heat resistance against lead-free solders and a copper-stuck heat resistance which are required in recent years. Further, in fine working treatment and formation of wirings, they are short of a copper foil adhesive property, a flexibility and a toughness, and brought about are the failures that the circuit patterns are broken or peeled and that cracks are produced in carrying out works such as boring and the like by drilling and punching.
  • Also, a case (refer to, for example, a patent document 8) regarding methyloled guanamine resins is disclosed, but problems on the heat resistance, the adhesive property, the workability and the like are involved therein as is the case with those described above.
  • Further, disclosed is a case (refer to, for example, a patent document 9) regarding thermosetting resins prepared by using adducts of bismaleimide compounds and aminobenzoic acid which are produced without using an organic solvent, benzoguanamine formaldehyde condensation products and the like, but they have a low thermal decomposition temperature and are short of a heat resistance against lead-free solders and a copper-stuck heat resistance which are required in recent years.
  • Also, phosphorus-containing compounds used as publicly known non-halogen base flame retardants include red phosphorus, soluble phosphoric ester compounds such as triphenyl phosphate and the like, reactive phosphorus-containing compounds such as phosphorus-containing epoxy resins and the like and ammonium polyphosphate and the like. It has been found that thermosetting resins prepared by using the above compounds are notably reduced in dielectric characteristics (a relative dielectric constant and a dielectric loss tangent), a heat resistance, a moisture resistance, an electric corrosion resistance and the like.
